Hi I'm Elise and I love to cook and share my creations with my friends and family. I hope you like the recipes I put up! Please check out our cooking channel Elise's Eats on YouTube :D Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/eliseseatschannel/ and Tumblr-http://eliseseatschannel.tumblr.com/

Thank you so much! That is just how I have made this. because it is such simple flavours I prefer an oil with less flavour like vegetable or canola. I find that olive oil sometimes alters the taste, but that may be bacuase my olive oil has a very strong flavour

That is just how I was taught, mainly it allows the can to roll around for a more even cooking otherwise. If the can stands up the base of the ban may get hotter than the top of the can and hence may be cooked unevenly.

Oh no I hope it is ok!I got splateres with hot water when I tried to pick up the can on the smooth rounded edge instead of the (normal/easy/obvious) way on the top and bottom of the can..... You only do those things once

That is great I hope you like it in the slow cooker! I'm glad you didn't have any explosions, although that would be a very delicious explosion!
